+### Bug fixes
+
+- Safer handling of pre-plot hooks. Resolves an issue affecting how `tinyplot`
+  behaves inside loops, particularly for themed plots where only the final plot
+  was being drawn in Quarto/RMarkdown contexts. Special thanks to @hadley and @cderv
+  for helping us to debug. (@vincentarelbundock #425)
